set-up
This is too good not to post.
Yes--Condi's sexuality isn't much of a secret to the Stanford community, but there's remarkably little to be found on it on the Internet.
Then there was the following exchange between Rice and Fox News reporter James Rosen, part of an interview conducted on September 27 in Port-au-Prince, and then posted on the State Department website:
MR. ROSEN: I think it's outrageous, frankly. All right. I close with a gift for you. You met this person once, I believe, but you really, I think, ought to know each other because this woman is, I think you'll have an interest in knowing her. She is one of our FOX News anchors in New York. Her name is Lauren Green. She is brilliant, she's beautiful, she's African American, she's single and she's a concert pianist in her spare time.SECRETARY RICE: My goodness.
MR. ROSEN: And she asked me to give you her CD and I promised her that I would.
SECRETARY RICE: That's perfect.
MR. ROSEN: And here's her doing a number of different classical pieces.
SECRETARY RICE: Well, that's special.
MR. ROSEN: So there you have it.
SECRETARY RICE: Thank her very much and I look forward to seeing her sometime.
MR. ROSEN: All right. She's going to want to hear from you.
SECRETARY RICE: And maybe even playing dual piano sometime.
MR. ROSEN: That would be great. Thank you, as always.
SECRETARY RICE: Thank you.
Honestly: is there more than one way to interpret this conversation?
Lauren Green, by the way, was Miss Minnesota, 1984:
